I would not send them away. Thefts are happening everywhere. Wouldn't you feel bad, if you sent them to live with someone else and their home was robbed? Just take all the precautions you can. Most thieves stay away from homes with pets because the barking alerts people. Some are smart enough to know Yorkies are worth a lot but few want to actually have to go through selling a dog to get their money. Items to sell to Pawn shops are easier. I do worry about ours sometimes when they are alone at home. But you can't let the crooks ruin your quality of life either. |
